I'm defo up for a gathering pre-gig (have to get the last train home afterwards). When I was in Sheffield a few years ago we used to go to 'The Penny Black' on Pond Street (it was the closest to the Uni bulding we were in!) - not even sure if its still there.

theres The Brown Bear next to it... if you don't like the sound of the monk....to be honest I'm up for anything, theres a chinese buffet place near the o2 so I'd be up to eat there then goto the Bear for a beverage or 3.....

Is a decision made? Will be rushing to get there from work but am staying in Sheffield overnight, so keen to put some faces to names after the gig at least. Don't know Shieffield at all so can't help with choices.Fiona

Does anyone know what time the lads will be on-stage? I've just realised that in the previous four occasions I've seen them (this year and last), it's been through an alcoholic haze to a lesser or greater degree!

on the website it looks as though there are 2 venies in the o2, one for 500 only which I think is the standing only one.Will be aiming to get there in time for doors opening to try and get to the front - but sounds as though anywhere in the place will be fab. not long now!!

[ROFLMAO] What makes you think this time will be any different Al?

It won't be, of course! Looking forward to another top night with my Scouse friend.

:-) Except for many moons ago when I saw the lads as a kid, going to see them or meeting other fans has always involved booze. More than any other band I've followed, Ultravox and copious drinking are synonymous for me. See you in the pub later. Cheers!

Can I just say ..."HOLY SHIT!!!!!" what a top night, me n' Juskins had like 2ft of dance space, but so made the most of it, bonus for some of us meeting Midge , Chris and Warren at the Novotel, I got my tatto signed ....it was great seeing some of my voxer buds again, and a huge soz to Bev, coz I never shut up till after 1 am due to being a tad excited!!!

hope you all have a great time tonight at the sheffield gig, i wont be there myself actually folks, as im down here in east london, please let me know if they sing anything differant in the set list, hope to talk to some of you later folks, have a nice one .
